I've been away.  But I'm back.

Where Did I go

Here I am.

Yay! It's December!

And I'm sick and I'm tired. And I need a vacation. We just got back from my in-laws where we had a great time and the puppy enjoyed it as well, but I'm ready to go again. I just want to relax and do nothing for a week. Recuperate and renew myself. Oh well. Only 3 weeks till Christmas.

It's October 12th, and do you know where I am?

Because sometimes, I sure don't.

We finally moved into our new house at the end of July, and things have been hectic since. We got a puppy the day after we moved in, and she has been a handful. She has the ability to be cute when she is not being a pain in the rear end, but that is what puppies do. She is now 17 weeks old, and we cannot wait till she's done teething.

Tomorrow, I get to head to beautiful Frederick, MD. Yeehaw. It's for work, so at least I'm getting paid for it. I get to come home Wednesday night. I should get used to going out of town, but doesn't mean I have to like it. I spent half of September down in North Carolina for work, and I was so glad to get home. So was the wife. Especially since we got the puppy.

I've been trying to find time to blog on here, but unfortunately, my life is not as exciting as everyone else's, so it's rather difficult to find stuff to blog about.

Updating...

Yay! An update from me! WOOHOO!

First things first. That WOM (wife of mine since she calls me HOM) and I are trying to close on a house by the end of the month. And when we close, we are going to have a huge move. I mean, we are moving a whole five houses up from where we live now! That's just too much!

Just kidding, but it will be nice.

1) It will be OUR house. Our first house together. It will be nice not renting any longer and won't need permission from our landlord to do anything, though our landlord is pretty laid back.

2) It is much bigger. Right now, our rental is a ranch with three small bedrooms. For those of you who have seen it, it is tiny. This one is a two story with a semi-finished basement (a place to put up a bar) and three+ bedrooms upstairs. It has a huge backyard with a detached two-car garage and the back is fenced in. So if something happens that we aren't planning on right now, then we'll have room.

3) Did I mention that it will be OUR house?

And to the jump:

Here are a couple of pictures from our wedding:

The Happy Couple

Do I Look Nervous?

And here is where I started to cry

Finally, A New Post

Sorry, I have been extremely busy. As you probably all know, I got married this weekend to a wonderful woman. I appreciate all who were able to join us and know that those who couldn't, were there in spirit. We hope to see all of you soon.
